Question: A 1 2 - ha catchment has pre - and post - development times of concentration of 2 . 5 h and 1 . 5

A 12-ha catchment has pre- and post-development times of concentration of 2.5 h and 1.5 h respectively, and the pre- and post-development runoff coefficient are estimated as 0.3 and 0.6. respectively. The IDG function is given by
\[
i=\frac{7836}{37.7+0.803 t}\mathrm{~mm}/\mathrm{h}
\]
Where i is the rainfall intensity in \(\mathrm{mm}/\mathrm{h}\) and t is the duration in minutes. Use the modified rational method to estimate the required storage so that the post-development peak runoff rate is equal to the pre-development peak runoff rate. What is the ratio of the storage volume to the runoff volume?
A 1 2 - ha catchment has pre - and post -
